This show features remarkable interviews recently recorded in Palestine and
Israel by One Land Many Voices co-host, Zaha Hassan. The interviews are with
Hanan Ashrawi, an internationally known and respected Palestinian leader whose powerful eloquence always inspires, and Nihad Boqai, a deeply committed Palestinian activist living in Israel.

In the discussion with Hanan Ashrawi, recorded shortly after the celebration of
International Women's Day, Ashrawi addresses the important connection between the liberation of Palestinian women and the national struggle of the Palestinian people.

Co-hosts Zaha Hassan and Ned Rosch interview Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb, long-time activist in support of Palestinian human rights and justice, and discuss the new Palestinian film, “Omar” with Waleed Zuaiter, one of the film’s producers and stars.

As not only one of the first women rabbis, but also one of the first rabbis to take a public stand for justice for Palestinians, Rabbi Gottlieb practices what she preaches - creatively and powerfully. Lynn explores the prophetic tradition in Judaism that requires people to stand for justice and to work for peace.

KBOO’s One Land Many Voices explores the rapidly-growing and historic grassroots global campaign known as Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions, or ‘BDS’ through interviews with two courageous BDS leaders. Omar Barghouti (pictured above) is the founding member of the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel and author of “BDS: The Global Struggle for Palestinian Rights”. He joins us from occupied Palestine.

Co-hosts Ned Rosch and Zaha Hassan interview Ziad Abbas from the Middle East Children Alliance and Mohammad Nabil, Palestinian student from Gaza, about the crisis in Gaza as a result of the fuel shortage. Since November 1st, 1.8 million Gazans have had to make do with power outages that last 12 hours each day. No fuel has meant that garbage trucks can’t make rounds to pick up trash and sanitation facilities can’t dispose and treat waste so that in parts of Gaza there is raw sewage flowing through communities while severe winter storms have meant ten thousand Gazans have had to relocate.

We hear a talk by co-host and Palestinian solidarity activist Ned Rosch on “Finding Our Voice in the Struggle for Justice” and a talk by author Max Blumenthal on his book “Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel.”

One Land Many Voices co-hosts Ned Rosch and Zaha Hassan interview Laila El-Haddad author of the highly acclaimed cookbook, The Gaza Kitchen: A Palestinian Culinary Journey.

The Gaza Kitchen is “part ethnography, part cookbook, and part political analysis” exploring the distinctive cuisine and food heritage of Palestine’s Gaza District through the personal stories and history of its people, particularly women.
Featured recently on CNN’s ‘Parts Unknown’ with Anthony Bourdain, Laila points to the challenges facing Gazans living under military siege while introducing the culture and beauty of the region and its people to viewers.

This month marks the 31st anniversary of the massacres at the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in Beirut during which an estimated 3000 Palestinian refugees lost their lives. It is also the 20th anniversary of the signing of the Oslo Accords between the PLO and Israel.

One Land Many Voices co-hosts will look back on those two events not only to remember what they meant to Palestinians and the world at the time, but also to consider what they mean today in the search for justice and peace.

With peace negotiations yet again underway between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, KBOO's One Land Many Voices on Friday, August 23 from 9 – 10 am takes a look at why these talks are happening now and explores with Yousef Munayyer of the Jerusalem Fund whether these negotiations will likely contribute anything meaningful towards resolving the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Barghouti is a cofounder of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement - an international call to boycott companies with a stake in Israeli war and occupation until Palestinian demands for decolonization and return are met. In striking parallel to the dynamics of occupation and resource control enacted by the Israeli state against Palestinians, here in "North America"/Turtle Island indigenous peoples are waging an ongoing fight against environmental destruction and land dispossession. SUPER is honored to host the following panelists who will converse with Omar on themes of settler colonialism, war, land theft, racism, incarceration, border imperialism, indigenous resistance, cross-movement international solidarity, and visions for transcendent liberation.
